46 The General Jewish Labour Bund Pt 1

The first episode of our series on the Jewish Labour Bund, a secular Jewish socialist movement founded in the late 1890s! We spoke to Elissa Bemporad and Josh Meyers about the Bund's Russian period. We talked about the founding of the Bund, its underground revolutionary activities, and it's complicated relationship with the Bolsheviks. Special thanks to JB Brager for the art we're using for the series and to Brivele for calling in a rendition of 'FTP in der Gasn.' You can find the show notes here: [This episode was recorded prior to the inspiring Black-led resistance following the white supremacist police killings of George Floyd, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many others. ]
